If your business uses vehicles—whether vans, trucks, or service cars—having solid Rhode Island Commercial Auto Insurance is essential. State law mandates minimum liability limits, but those often aren’t enough to protect your assets. At Segreve & Hall, we build policies that meet Rhode Island’s legal obligations, cover physical and liability risks, and support your fleet or single‑vehicle operation with tailored solutions.
Rhode Island Commercial Auto Insurance That Keeps Your Business Moving
Trusted by Businesses for 30+ years 
Liability Minimums Required by Rhode Island Law
Meet minimums and avoid penalties
Rhode Island requires that all commercial auto policies include at least:
- $25,000 bodily injury per person
- $50,000 bodily injury per accident
- $25,000 property damage liability
These are the legal minimums under Rhode Island law for commercial auto insurance. Carrying less than that can expose your business to fines, lawsuits, or license issues. Segreve & Hall helps ensure you meet or exceed those minimums to protect both your business and your reputation.
Comprehensive Coverage Options for Business‑Owned Vehicles
Go beyond basics with protection for your fleet
In addition to liability, consider adding:
- Collision & comprehensive coverage (damage to your own vehicle)
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage
- Medical payments or personal injury protection (PIP)
- Hired & non‑owned auto coverage (vehicles your business rents or employees drive)
- Physical damage, theft, and vandalism protection
These options allow you to build a policy that fits your risk profile and operations, whether you have one work truck or a fleet across Rhode Island.
Rate Factors & Local Expertise That Matter
What influences your commercial auto premium in RI
Several factors impact how much you’ll pay:
- The type and size of your vehicles
- How often and how far they travel
- Your drivers’ driving records & claims history
- Whether vehicles operate in urban areas (e.g. Providence) vs rural areas
- Use of safety/anti‑theft devices or formal safety programs
Because Rhode Island has diverse driving environments—from densely trafficked areas to coastal and rural zones—understanding local risk makes a big difference. Our agents locally assess your operations to find the best premiums and protection.

From Our Clients
I was looking for a commercial auto policy and found Segreve & Hall online. I decided to give them a try based on their excellent reviews. I spoke with Dan St. Pierre first, and provided information on the phone and via email. Within a couple of hours, Paulo Botelho sent me two very competitive quotes. I was already impressed by how responsive they were. Then I had several phone calls with Paulo on the following days, and went over the details. Since this was my first commercial policy, Paulo gave me a very good explanation of its differences from a personal one. He also helped adding the business name to the registry. It has been a great experience working with Paulo. I have no hesitation recommending Segreve & Hall to anyone with insurance needs. A job well done!
I was looking to change insurance and reduce our out of pocket expenses for both auto and homeowners. Paul Botelho came highly recommended to me and he did not disappoint. He advised what the best option would be and then he streamlined the change very quickly. He kept me informed of the process and answered all my questions promptly and was a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend Segreve and Hall as well as Paul.
Paulo was an awesome help! Helped me save hundreds on my auto insurance. 10/10 recommend doing business with him. I’ve already sent family members his way for insurance, and will continue to send anybody I know in need his way. Thanks again!
I have my home, business and autos with Segreve & Hall, very happy with the service, always very responsive to my needs and very knowlegeable. They always try offer alternatives to try to save me money. Michael Brandolini and the whole team at Segreve & Hall is alway very helpful when I call in.
The agency was enthusiastically recommended by a friend and everything has lived up to my expectations.Everyone at this agency has been great in helping me to obtain insurance for my new home and transfer my auto insurance. They have made it so easy. Each person I have dealt with has been professional, courteous, responsive and knowledgeable.
I dealt with Tom Segreve at Segreve & Hall when we wanted to compare different insurance companies for our homeowners and our auto policies. Tom was very helpful and checked several top insurance companies that they offer. He found us the right coverage and also saved us money! We highly recommend them!
Couldn't be more happy with the service I received from Brian Segreve at Segreve and Hall Insurance Associates. I recently bought my first home and he made getting my home and auto insurance easy and strait-forward, and I felt like he genuinely care about finding the best coverage for me and my family. All my questions were answered promptly, and everything was explained in a way that made sense. Highly recommend!
A relative referred me to S&H as I had indicated a change was needed with my current agent of 32yrs. I connected with Finn Collins at S&H and explained my situation and what I was hoping to do. He asked a few questions, I provided my coverage sheets and he took it home from there. He mapped all my options as requested to the T, made a few suggestions on gaps in my current plan and provided options all of which were better than my current rates but with more coverage. Too good to be true? I inquired on how drivers with near perfect driving records and a 30+yr relationship with existing carrier can get better rates with new carrier and no history. He provided industry white papers explaining how....Who knew? I do now. Thank you S&H and Thank you Finn C! I am passing on your info to my contacts!

I’ve had my liability insurance for my small business with Segreve & Hall for many years. The customer service wasn’t always that fast. But now that I’m working with Michael Brandolini directly I’ve had a great experience. He always responds in a timely manner. Would recommend him to anymore looking for insurance.
Used S&H to insure my very first condo - although I've owned several homes, this is the first time in condo-land, and I was pretty unfamiliar with the process. Thomas helped walk me through all the options, and also the fact that we ended up closing 2.5 weeks later than anticipated! He also helped with quite a few special circumstances. Very happy and would work with them again!
My friend recommended this agency to me, and they’ve been great to work with, especially working with Paulo! He is always quick to respond and really helpful whenever needed. Working with them has been very simple and stress-free, which I really appreciate. Definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking!

Recently sold my trailer and bought a park model and my new neighbor is Paulo Botelho. He mentioned he is in the insurance business and could give me a quote. Now I'm insured for trailer and golf cart. Great policy, great price and it couldn't have gone smoother.
Thank you Segreve & Hall and especially Paulo.

Frequently asked questions
Is commercial auto insurance mandatory in Rhode Island for business vehicles?
Yes. If you operate vehicles for business purposes, Rhode Island requires that you carry commercial auto liability insurance with at least the state minimums (25/50/25 split). This applies whether you own, rent, or lease the vehicle.
What coverage beyond the legal minimum should my business consider?
Every business should consider adding UM/UIM coverage, collision, comprehensive, and hired/non‑owned auto coverage. These protect your business when liability limits run out, or when damages arise from non‑collision events or vehicles you don’t directly own.
How can I lower my commercial auto insurance costs in Rhode Island?
You can reduce costs by:
- Maintaining clean driver records
- Using safety features and safety programs
- Bundling commercial auto with other business insurance policies
- Monitoring and limiting high‑risk operations
- Properly training drivers
Segreve & Hall works with you to identify cost‑saving opportunities that don’t compromise on necessary protection.
